Remarks. — By the late news from Europe, to tire 
12th November, Flour and Grain remained steady 
abroad, although the weather continued very favo 
rable for sowing. Flour has advanced in this market 
the past week from 0 to 12 cents per barrel ; the 
prices of the different kinds of Grain remain about 
the same. Pork, another slight decline; Beef, steady. 
Cotton, an advance of £ to J of a cent per lb. 
Other southern products unchanged, 
Money continues to grow easier, although good 
paper still sells readily in Wall street at 10 to 12 
per cent. 
The Mark Lane Express aud most of our foreign 
papers are so devoid of interest in Market Reports, 
we make no quotations from them this week. The 
War between Russia and Turkey seems to have had 
no particular effects yet in the prices of produce) 
rates of interest (fee., either at home or abroad. 
At Cincinnati Hogs are dull and tending down¬ 
wards ; Nov. 20, sales at $4 10 to $4 25 per 100 lbs.

There has been very little deviation from the prices 
quoted last week. Potatoes of prime quality may bring a 
little more than the price noted, and have a tendency up¬ 
wards, though there appear to be more in market than 
usual. Sweet Potatoes have increased considerably in 
price within the last few weeks ; they are now retailing at 
$3 25 per bbl., and these not of extra quality. Cabbages 
are also advancing gradually, and will require a little more 
care in bringing them to market now that the frost has set 
in ; Potatoes and many other vegetables will also require 
more careful handling. 
Apples continue at about the same rates as quoted last 
week. We see very few samples of choice Newtown Pip¬ 
pins or prime II. I. Greenings; Spitzenburgs, Pound Sweets, 
Twenty ounce Pippins, and Baldwins are the most common 
sorts. Inferior lots of any of these varieties may be pur¬ 
chased as low as one dollar per barrel, but they are nearly 
worthless, and from $2 25@$2 50 is the lowest price for 
good fruit. Pears are seldom offered but in small quantities 
for retail, so that the prices demanded do not convey a fair 
idea of their value, and the fancy Boston fruit, that we read 
of, does not get farther than Broadway.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday, JVov. 28, 1853. 
An unusually small supply, together with several less 
important coincidences had the effect of improving the 
price of cattle to-day, and prices rose considerably above 
those of the previous week. The most exacting drovers 
were almost satisfied with this advance, and the only limit 
to the increase in prices was the inferiority of the majority 
of the cattle in market ; only a few decent-looking animals 
were offered, and these did not long remain on hand. 
The number of cattle at the Washington Yards for the 
week, will be seen by the following numbers, to have been 
much less than we have reported for some time. 
Washington Yards, Forty-fourth street. 
A. M. Allerton, Proprietor.

The cattle received at the 'Washington Yards were trom 
the following sources: 
, N. York State, by the cars, 357 beeves ; on foot, 189 do. 
by the Hudson River boats, 72 do. 
From Pennsylvania, on foot, 05 beeves. 
Ohio, on cars, 176 do. 
Kentucky, on cars, 105 do. 
Virginia, on foot, 309 do. 
These were forwarded by the following lines : 
By the Harlem Railroad, Beeves, 333 ; Cows and Calves 
10 ; Sheep and Lambs, 945 ; Veals, 306. 
By the Hudson River Railroad : Beeves, 219. 
By the Erie Railroad : Beeves, 259 ; Sheep, 120. 
The prices of cattle judging from the sales effected to-day 
were, 
Inferior, 7#@8c. 
Good, 8#@9c. 
Superior, 9#®10c. 
Extra cattle may have been sold for a little over ten cents, 
but there were few in market calculated to exceed that figure, 
and very indifferent animals brought eight cents ; such beef 
as the owners would never think of eating themselves 
Sheep,—A t Chamberlin’s, the sales of sheep have been 
better for the last few days, and the heavy stock on hand 
last week has been nearly all cleared out, a comparatively 
small number remaining to-day. t 
John Mortimore, sheep broker, reports the following 
sales, with the average price of each : 
300 Sheep@$3 75; 01 do® $4 75; 100 do® $4 25; 170 
do® $4 88; 190 do ® $3 90 ; 77 do @ $4 50; 80 do 
$3 25 ; 277 do @ $4 90 ; 100 do ® $5 75 ; 60 lambs ® $3 ; 
one lot of good 40 do @ $4. He also reports an advance in 
the price of sheep, owing- to the favorable change in the 
weather and a small supply. Sheep are worth from 8®10c. 
per lb., according to quality, and Iambs from 10® I2#c. 
Mutton is selling by the carcase in Washington market at 
from G@9c. As there are few left over, and these of Inferior 
quality, there is a prospect of sales being brisk. 
Witt. Deiieart, sheep broker at the same place, furnishes 
tlie following notes of sales from his book, as reliable. 
One lot of 94 sheep, @ 84 25 ; 42, @§3 37# ; 42, @$2 87% ; 
186, @$3 87% ; 9 lambs, @$3 50 ; also the following lots : 
55 sheep and lambs, $188 25; 172 sheep, $661 25; 287 
$884 87; 208, $755 ; 27, $74 25; 42. $164; 75, $309 38; 
making 811 sheep for $2848 75, which would average about 
$3 50 each. 
At Browning’s the prices of sheep are quoted at from 
$2 50@$5; extras, $5@$8 ; and lambs from $1 75®$5 ; 
extras, $6. 
The actual state of the market may be learned from the 
above particulars. 
Veals. — T hese have not varied much since our last re¬ 
port, and are worth from 5@7c. perqiound ; there are more 
in market however this week. 
Swine. — A n advance has taken_place since the change in 
ttie weather, and hogs have be e ti in good demand during 
the past week. The wholesale price of dressed carcases 
on board the market boats is 7% cents, and for retailing 8 
cents per pound. A lot of 445 Ohio hogs of prime quality, 
are reported by Mr Allerton sold from the Erie railroad 
cars, before reaching this city, at 5 cents live weight, the 
greater part of which were killed soon after changing 
hands ; this was a very low price, and no doubt the seller 
would have done better to have sent them a little farther. 
Large quantities of poultry are brought into market daily, 
and tend to keep down the prices of other meats. They are 
selling at from 9@10 cents per pound.
